Mira Rajput emphasised the importance of breastfeeding in an interview with an entertainment website.

Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput welcomed their second bundle of joy, a baby boy, last week at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai. The couple has named their son Zain Kapoor.

A few weeks before her delivery, Mira advocated breastfeeding in an interview with an entertainment website. "I have spoken about the importance of feeding the baby in the past too. I was extremely religious with Misha and I am going to do the same with my newborn. It is the greatest gift you can give your baby," she said.

Mira also said that it is extremely important for new mothers to "be happy and eat well". She also advised them to catch a few winks whenever they can, as a baby will cause their sleep cycle to get thrown off its normal rhythm.

Shahid and Mira's two-year-old daughter Misha is super-excited about being a big sister to Zain and had been saying 'Hi Baby!' to her mother's tummy every day. Mira emphasised how important it is to strike a balance between the two babies.

"This time I already have a toddler around and keeping a balance between the one you have and the one that's on its way is very important. Everything changes and you don't want that the one who has been the apple of your eyes for so long and feels that she's the centre of your world to feel neglected and ignored. That is very important," she said.
